Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Thou didst offer thyself to thy Creator as a precious gift, having suffered and vanquished falsehood, O thou adornment of the martyrs.

¶3

Theotokion: The Lord Who is equal in honor with the Father and the Spirit was incarnate of thy pure blood, O pure one, becoming man.

¶4

Thou didst demolish graven images and temples of the demons, O wise Paramon, having acquired a steadfast resolve on the rock of divine faith.

¶5

Thou didst manfully wound a multitude of the demons with the wounding of thy flesh, O valiant-minded athlete. Wherefore, we call thee blessed.
